What Morph?

I picked her up at a show a couple months ago and had to go so I didn't get to talk to the breeder. She just laid a clutch sired by my super snow and I would like to know what will hatch out

She looks like a red stripe.

How does that pass to the babies? I know that snow is co-dom so all of them will be snows, but I know next to nothing about red stripes

This is the website I use when I'm unsure of a breeding outcome

It says your super snow x red stripe pairing will yield 100% Mack Snow

I searched google a bit and she looks more like a bandit than a red stripe

I've been looking at a whole bunch of leo pictures and based on them she could be a snow, hypo snow, red stripe, bandit, or high yellow :O Leopard gecko morphs are so confusing

Def not a hypo she has to many spots, Looks like a high yellow.

You have a high yellow there. The pairing will result in a chance for 50% of the babies will be Mack Snow.

Something like the cinnamon gene in BPs, it's a co-dominate trait.

I though all of the babies would be snow if the dad is a super snow? Will the high yellow pattern effect the babies'?

Yes, the super snow would produce 100% Mack snow babies. In my opinion, you have some sort of stripe female, and there's a possibility her stripe and nice yellow can influence on the hatchlings as well.

If her pattern passes to her babies I'll hold them back, and if they are still showing the pattern as adults I'll breed them.

Someone on this forum said that if you breed two super snows together, the babies will be weak. Does anyone that has bred super snows together know if that is true?

I posted about that recently, and yes Super Snow to Super Snow furthers the slow growth gene in snows and results in deformities and still births.

I'm not quite sure if the high yellow will play into the babies. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you've got mack snows. ;)

To make super snows, just pair your super up with a Mack snow and you'll avoid the super slow growth gene.

And yes, I was wrong, SS x Wild type makes Mack's. ;)

Red stripe is known for being a line bred trait so you could see it, but not usually until 6 months or so of age.

I definately won't be breeding super snows together then :O

I'll hold back all of the babies to see if they develop into anything cool :)

I don't have pictures of my breeder Mack snow female, but shes got a crazy tail pattern that I wish was genetic haha.
